Gameplay[]
In lieu of the Arkham's series traditional free-flow combat system, Rocksteady has developed a new gameplay system that caters to the team-centric nature of the game. Players are able to choose four characters at a time to go on a single mission. While in a mission, players can switch from teammate to teammate on the fly, allowing the right person to do the right job.
Each character has their own specific set of skills that may or may not come in handy for a particular mission. An assassination mission might call for Deadshot's superior marksmanship abilities, but might not be so suited to Bane's brute force tactics. Conversely, a mission that requires up close fighting would more require Deathstroke or Bane rather than Deadshot. However, team diversity is important, and many skills are required per mission.
